The most interesting point to make about Adam Matthews is that, for another month anyway, he is still a teenager. You and I have seen enough of these games to know that the occasion has a habit of consuming inexperienced youth but Adam patrolled Celtic’s right with remarkable authority last night. All the more remarkable considering this was his first game back after injury.
Football business for 2011 is finished and new signing, Swedish international right back, Mikael Lustig (25), is now available for selection. At 6’3” Mikael has previously played in central defence but Neil Lennon insisted the player was primarily recruited as a right back but, despite the rate Celtic right backs pick up injuries, the need appears greater in central defence. It’s hard to see Adam Matthews losing the right back berth.

Planet footie agent has been told that £7million up front releases Jelavić. £1 million could be re-invested on either O’Connor or Sandaza

Sources close to the player consider it unlikely that he will be at RFC after mid January.
The piece by Matthew Lindsay in the et is laughable. Apparently there were “farcical scenes” last night over their disallowed goal. Which wasn’t even disallowed as no-one noticed it, including their players…
the definition of a hurtin’ hun…

ANYONE RECOGNISE THE PUB THIS WAS TAKEN?

good to see Alan Brazil looking well, makes me look svelte and that is not easy.
Is it just me, or is it really only when Celtic win that the media declare O** F*** games poor quality? On the other hand, when the Huns win, they always seem to be described as, “crackers,” in the media. Why is that?
£7m up front? Nobody is that stupid!

“Nikica Jelavic prey without the Old Firm.
Croatian striker Nikica Jelavic is played all 90 minutes for Rangers in their defeat by the angry rivals Celtic in the “Old Firm”.
ItaliaBhoy@16:59
If you think Matthew Lindsay was hurting at the Huns defeat, try and get a hold of Stephen McGowan’s report in the Daily Mail
He is feeling the pain so much he thought the Huns deserved a point! After 1 shot on target in the whole game?
The pain in his writing made it all the funnier to read
Nothing more hilarious than seeing how hurt the Laptop Loyal are after a 1-0 doing

See you there mate.

It says:
“Nikica Jelavic has not scored in OLd Firm derby.
Croatian International Nikica Jelavic played 90 minutes for Rangers. His team lost against local rivals Celtic in the game called Old Firm derby.”

You are welcome, my friend.

Re earlier discussion.
I also rate Ki as technically ver good. I also believe he holds a lot of potential to lay at a higher level. Im not convinced SPL is for him.
That’s why it wouldn’t it me up or down if we could cash him in. He’s not in my top 6 midfielders.
Cant believe we would think of letting Kris Commons go.
Is he injured or just out of favour?

What does it mean?
my croatian is a bit rusty but i am sure it says this –
“Nikica Jelavić bez plijena u Old Firmu.
Hrvatski reprezentativac Nikica Jelavić odigrao je svih 90 minuta za svoje Rangerse u porazu od ljutitih rivala Celtica u “Old Firmu”.
Nik Jellyfish best team won Old Firm.
Huns represent to Nik Jellyfish apoligies that for 90 minutes us people of Rangers were pumped by superior rivals Celtic, no old firm”
or something like that.
Hey lads
I’ve just been putting the finishing touches to some CQN stuff, and I thought I’d share a wee lyrical gem with you that I intend to use at some stage.
This one’s for Whytey. Tell me it don’t fit beautifully.

“They’re still racing out at the Trestles,
But that blood it never burned in her veins,
Now I hear she’s got a house up in Fairview,
And a style she’s trying to maintain.
Well, if she wants to see me,
You can tell her that I’m easily found,
Tell her there’s a spot out ‘neath Abram’s Bridge,
And tell her, there’s a darkness on the edge of town.
Everybody’s got a secret, Sonny,
Something that they just can’t face,
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it,
They carry it with them every step that they take.
Till some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag ’em down,
Where no one asks any questions,
or looks too long in your face,
In the darkness on the edge of town.
Some folks are born into a good life,
Other folks get it anyway, anyhow,
I lost my money and I lost my wife,
Them things don’t seem to matter much to me now.
Tonight I’ll be on that hill ’cause I can’t stop,
I’ll be on that hill with everything I got,
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost,
I’ll be there on time and I’ll pay the cost,
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town.”
Zbyszek
It is worth repeating from time to time…..Your contributions to Celtic Quick News are one of the things that make it such a fantastic Celtic site.
You are a top man and a top (honourary) Celt.

What is going on? Exclusive news on Russian website.
Пять минут до окончания основного времени матча. Что сказать? Если “Рейнджерс” сравняет счёт, то это будет чудо. “Селтик”, всё-таки, играет получше.
This time I’m not going to keep you wonder.
Five minutes into the final whistle. What can we say? If “Rangers” score (equalise), that will be miracle. “Celtic play much better.
Mr Z
Thank you, appreciated.
I would like to see him move on and l was hoping it related to his sale.

…………..
Is that the same Stephen McGowan who was at the Celtic View? I’d guess his article was heavily edited by someone else.
It was always thus after a RFC defeat.
“Two bad lots”.
To repeat what I posted last night.
We broke their will. It was apparent during the last fifteen minutes, when they lost their discipline and saw a glimpse of their future.
Having said that, they are always a hard team to beat and should never be written off in any individual game; but, as a club, they are in a very dark place.
SwanseaBhoy
Those of us who have met Zbyszek can testify to him indeed being a top man and a top Celt.

I hope to have the privilege of shaking Zbyszek’s hand myself one of these days.

“STV understands that Walter McCoist feels losing last night’s game against Celtic was like getting all 3 points, a well-known mega-bucks Brazillian striker and a free Lamb Pasanda courtesy of wee Satty.
No, seriously, says the baldy bluenose hair-apparent.
We’ll win the League shouted Ally, swigging straight from the bottle……… Shug is still on the square, and his boys will come good, just as they have before.
The haggard looking ‘rookie’ went on to rap ugly members of the Blue Tsunami who had the cheek to call for his bloated heid on a platter. And ye can tell wee Billy an’ that fat Jimmy that I’ll be here till the 12th o’ Never, if no july……Tthe interview ends abruptly as the wayward wunderkid lurches into the back of a leased Maybach….”
As bad as Healy’s assault on JF was, I think Elbows McCulloch was guilty of an even worse offence. His follow-through on Beram was a potential leg-breaker and it was only his simulation after the tackle that saved him from a red card – plus the fact that Collum was the referee.
Ridiculous commentary of the year award must surely go to the clown on BBC who described the Celtic goal as “the Old Firm breakthrough” .

‘Is that the same Stephen McGowan who was at the Celtic View? I’d guess his article was heavily edited by someone else’
I have no idea if it is but he has been writing pro Hun articles for quite some time now
The fact he thought they deserved a point tells me everything i need to know about him
Any news on Kayal?

My nephew was taught RE by Collum. My nephew is one of life`s really decent guys and does not criticise readily. He said Collum was a twat.

Thank you.

I would not agree with you. Jelavic is heartless player who lost sense in playing for that poor team. I honesty hope he stays with them until the rest of the season, continues to ruin their finances. At the end of the season he will cost 2 millions.
In his last interview for the Croatian press he told that bench for Croatia team does not scare him. Top of his dreams now.
Sorry, that was Mick at 16.13

I like us playing with a 4-3-3 going to a 4-5-1 when defending.
My choice would be Stokes upfront and a midfield of (assuming everybody is fit)
Forrest Kayal Wanyama Ledley Samaras
second choice would be Hooper upfront with.
McCourt Brown Ki Commons Stokes
However with the our new RB arriving on Sunday Matthews could also play in wide right in midfield as well.
